Head for the hills.

This past weekend we headed for the hills to spend a fabulous 4days with Farmer Browns family...

The ride from lil Sara's point of view...She took this from her seat with my cellphone.

This was our first visit to the mountains since I was pregnant....A 9hr drive with a young child (and dog) is so much fun :)

View from the back porch...

As you can see, the views are just awful

Sara being forced to spend time in the hot tub with the mountain views.

And absolutely nothing to do all day...

But seriously...

We had a wonderful time visiting,spending time together and watching the 3 cousins getting to know each other for the first time.

We also visited Meeks Park in Blairsville GA to do a family photo session...

It certainly is a challenge to photograph your own family session lol...Sadly Big Daughter could not make the trip as she had to work...We missed her so much.

My BIL's wife was nice enough to take a couple of photos of Farmer Brown, Lil Sara and myself...I know how much she hated using my new Canon camera...I actually thought I was going to have to mug her to get it back..

Of course the long drive home was full of pit stops for child and dog....This Burger King was great for Sara to run off some of her pent up energy after 6hrs in the car and we were able to let Rocky sit in the shade outside the fence while we all ate...he even got his own burger.

No big plans for this weekend, just putting up all the veggies I harvested yesterday and maybe even unpack the suitcase hehe....Hope yall have a wonderful long weekend.

What a wonderful, relaxing time you had. I love the Mts. and see them so little, living way up north in WI. It is a different beauty here, and very green right now but full of mosquitoes, our state bird...ha!You have a beautiful family.BlessYourHearts

I adore the family photo! Nice job BIL's wife!It looks like you had a wonderfully, relaxing time - well, except for that drive. I don't envy you for that! Did you have to go through Atlanta? That is one of my all time, most hated things to do!

Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths: guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Why our family is here...

This little patch of Florida has seen a few generations and a couple of houses since it was first homesteaded in the late 1800's by hubby's ancestors..

In Nov 2009 we purchased this 5 acres parcel of land from his parents to build our new family home and to keep the original homesite in the family for another generation...

This blog was created to share our journey that started with clearing a spot for our new home where the old one once sat so long ago...Watching our house being built from the ground up...To the present as we create a home full of wonderful memories...Glad you could join us along the way.
